I didn't know your Mother very well. But, the time my husband and I went to see her, it was such a pleasure. We know you loved her very much, now she is going to be with the Lord, where she will have no more pain to bear. She is now in the Hands of the Lord. You and your family have our deepest sympathy. Love always,

Back in 86-88, I worked at the St. Bernard Group Home for Boys. Mrs. Brown, or Mama Marie as she was called, worked there too. I worked the midnight-8 am shift school days and got to see her in the morning. We had many talks, coffee and laughs. She was a wonderful lady, beautiful to the heart and had nothing poor to say about anyone. She shared stories, feelings and thoughts. She was one that was open to hugs and she got many from me. She will be missed by so many!
